More Information
Summary:Edited by a PECASE award recipient, this book provides unrivaled coverage of the issues unique to coastal environments. It presents the best available data for measuring and monitoring coastal zones and explains how to use this data to address current issues in coastal zone management. The text illustrates recent developments in active remote sensing, hyperspectral remote sensing, high spatial resolution remote sensing, the integration of remote sensing, and in situ data. Covering the effects of land-cover and land-use change on coastal environments, the book includes case studies that illustrate remote sensing applications in coastal issues.
